Prayer Against An Enemy

²¹
But You, O God, the Lord, show kindness to me, for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness (faithfulness, compassion) is good, O rescue me;
²² 
For I am suffering and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
²³
I am vanishing like a shadow when it lengthens and fades;
I am shaken off like the locust.

Deliver Me

I Am He

In Me

Poor and Needy
